I'm really loving Cinnamon. And thank you merlwiz, for all of your hard work on porting extensions.

However, maybe I'm missing something: when I go to the Overview (ctrl-alt-down arrow), I just see my open windows. Shouldn't there be "Windows" and "Themes" menu options in the overview as well? I'm basing this assumption off of the screenshot shown here:http://www.my-guides.net/en/guides/linu ... stall-them

Thanks in advance.

That was removed in 1.2.0 and will be replaced with something similar to the expo plugin for compiz fusion.

We are moving over about 900 miles and no idea when we'll have a place to live.We have 90 days to find a job and a place to live after the move.I won't be able to update cinnamon or the extensions for a long time.I'll have internet but my laptop doesn't have 3d acceleration graphics drivers.My desktop will be in storage until we find place to live.Hope it doesn't take too long.

I've tried a portion of these extensions on Cinnamon 1.3 and all worked after I incremented the version.All you need to do is find a file called metadata.json located in /usr/share/cinnamon/extensions/<extension name> and add "1.3.0" to the "cinnamon-version" array. So, you should end up with this:"cinnamon-version": [ "1.1.3", "1.2.0", "1.3.0" ],

@merlwiz79Good like with finding a home man! And thanks for the work so far.

Wow. I was about to ask this question. Just before typing, I read the above message, found the answer. Brilliant!! Would you know how to "appletize" the extension "Iconized Windows List" which is currently out of order?

I tested about most of the extensions in the PPA to Cinnamon 1.3. Like said further above, they work, if you add this "1.3.1" snippet in their relevant metadata.json file. The only one unstable seemed to be "Removable Drive Menu".

But, on the other hand, I think most of them will have to be transformed in applets because they sit in the panel. Just like the weather extension above. This will keep your Cinnamon panel flexible and enable you to claim insurance damage if need be.
